I have a German Shorthaired Pointer, I mainly shoot walked up quail and the odd duck in season, the rest of year she flushes rabbits and occasionally points hares. We don't have any really thick cover, but she works plantations well. I found the breeder on the internet whilst serving in Afghanistan knowing nothing about pointers and have loved every minute of shooting with her.

Does anyone have any experience with Voere 2155 or 2165 rifles?

Beagling and Beagles by Otho J. Paget is old but a great read. You can buy scanned and re-printed versions of the Internet cheaply.

Would the Drumfriesshire Hound be considered Scotland's Foxhound?

Thanks, I will try that.

I asked myself the same question last year, I opted for a .223 CZ527 and have not looked back. I do not reload and cost of ammo was a consideration. I shoot 55 grainers through it and find it is fine out to 250m. .243 is a more versatile round, most of my friends shoot it lamping fox and it is fine for feral goats and most pigs. It shoots flatter than a .223 which is a plus at night where it is difficult to estimate range. It is also worth considering the 22-250 if you like flat shooting rounds.

Gents, I have a 2yo GSP bitch which I use mainly on quail. She is a cracking little dog with a good nose and a solid natural point, but I am having trouble encouraging her to flush on command. Could anyone offer any suggestions?
